It solves a single problem: how do I get back and forth between Burano and Torcello as quickly as possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Line 12 also connects the two islands \u2014 but only about every 30 minutes, and the boats are often full of day trippers from F.te Nove. Line 9 is purpose-built for the short hop: a small boat, no long route, low occupancy. If you spontaneously decide at lunchtime &#8220;come on, let&#8217;s pop over to Torcello&#8221;, line 9 is your boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The typical island-day logic with line 9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>From F.te Nove with line 12 to Burano<\/strong> \u2014 about 40 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 hours on Burano<\/strong> (a walk through the coloured houses, the lace museum, lunch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Line 9 to Torcello<\/strong> \u2014 5 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1.5 hours on Torcello<\/strong> (the basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, the museum, Locanda Cipriani).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Line 9 back to Burano<\/strong> \u2014 5 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Line 12 back to F.te Nove<\/strong> \u2014 40 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With line 9 you save on average 20\u201325 minutes per island day compared with waiting for line 12 to cover the Burano\u2013Torcello link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see on Torcello<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Basilica Santa Maria Assunta<\/strong>: Byzantine mosaics (7th century), one of the oldest church buildings in the lagoon, \u20ac5.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Santa Fosca<\/strong>: a smaller 11th-century sister church right next door, free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Museo Provinciale di Torcello<\/strong>: archaeological finds from the island and the early lagoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Locanda Cipriani<\/strong>: a legendary restaurant (Hemingway was a regular), lunch from \u20ac50.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ponte del Diavolo<\/strong>: a small bridge without railings, a few steps from the pier \u2014 photogenic, with a local legend attached.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Torcello is practically uninhabited today \u2014 about 10 people live there year-round. At midday in midsummer it can still get busy. Come early (before 10:30) or late (after 16:30) and you experience the basilica in almost meditative silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timetable and tickets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Line 9 runs <strong>every 30 minutes<\/strong> in both directions during the day. First departure around 7:00 in the morning, last around 20:30. In low season (November\u2013March) the frequency drops to 60 minutes \u2014 be sure to check the timetable before your return from Torcello, the pier is rather lonely in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Line 9 is part of the normal ACTV fare. A separate single ride would cost \u20ac9.50; it is fully included in the 24-hour pass (\u20ac25) \u2014 with 4+ rides on an island day, the pass pays off guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"tv-faq\">\n<details><summary><strong>How long does the trip from Burano to Torcello take?<\/strong><\/summary><div><p>With line 9 about 5 minutes.
